LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SES (Euronext Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) announced today that Gogo (NASDAQ:
GOGO), the leading global provider of broadband connectivity products
and services for aviation has signed a new capacity deal to enhance
inflight connectivity services on key air travel routes over North
America and the Pacific Ocean.

As part of the new agreement, Gogo has leased all available capacity on
SES’s AMC-4 satellite, which SES will move to a new orbital location to
serve flights to, from and within the states of Alaska and Hawaii,
flights along the west coast of the US and flights over the Pacific
Ocean.

“One of the great benefits of the Ku ecosystem is the on-demand
flexibility it offers us. Gogo’s scale and the scale of our satellite
providers, with dozens of satellites in orbit, puts us in a unique
position to deploy industry-leading capacity to any area of the globe,”
said Michael Small, President and CEO at Gogo. “We’re also unique in
that the capacity we are deploying is dedicated to the aero market and
not shared with ground subscribers, maritime or other markets.”

“SES has a global fleet of over 50 GEO satellites in orbit, and will be
launching five more satellites this year, three of which have massive
throughput payloads. SES is one of the global operators who can quickly
and effectively move existing assets and scale up across regions and
routes where connectivity demand is on the rise. This robust global
network of scalable, flexible satellite capacity enables SES to stay
ahead of the ever-growing demands and requirements of the aero
industry,” said Elias Zaccack, Senior Vice President of the Americas
region and Mobility Solutions at SES. “With the recent launch of the
SES-10 satellite, SES will place AMC-4 in an orbital slot to meet the
growing demand for Gogo’s inflight connectivity services and allow us to
further expand our alliance.”

SES is the world-leading satellite operator and the first to deliver a
differentiated and scalable GEO-MEO offering worldwide, with more than
50 satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and 12 in Medium Earth
Orbit (MEO). SES focuses on value-added, end-to-end solutions in two key
business units; SES Video and SES Networks. The company provides
satellite communications services to broadcasters, content and internet
service providers, mobile and fixed network operators, governments and
institutions. SES’s portfolio includes the ASTRA satellite system, which
has the largest Direct-to-Home (DTH) television reach in Europe, O3b
Networks, a global managed data communications service provider, and
MX1, a leading media service provider that offers a full suite of
innovative digital video and media services.Further information
